Smaller airports need to take action says Minister

The Department of Infrastructure is looking into anti-drone provision at Ronaldsway airport.

It follows a number of drone sightings at two of London's major airports in the last two weeks.

The UK government has said it's to invest millions of pounds into anti-drone equipment, after both Gatwick and Heathrow saw disruptions to hundreds of flights.

Minister Ray Harmer says it's important smaller airports also take action.
